CHEMICAL PEELING
Chemical peeling of the skin
Peeling is considered one of the oldest and best cosmetic solutions used to improve the appearance of the skin. It uses various types of acids that help get rid of the surface layer of the skin. These acids exfoliate the outer layer, allowing this layer to be reshaped again.
We work at Dr. Dima Ahmad’s clinic to perform chemical peeling, where we use various types of acids that help get rid of the surface layer of the skin and thus stimulate the skin to renew cells and also help get rid of some of the problems of the surface layer such as pigmentation, scars, etc., which is what Ensures a fresh, problem-free surface layer.
